I’ll bet it’s something you’ve never thought about but as much as we’re wishing it wasn’t true the answer is yes. Different types of fonts can and will have an effect on a number of conversions you see on your website.
Typography is a way to add personality and character through text, and to many people, it is considered an art form. The way you present the style, size, and color of a certain type of text can make the difference between a customer’s decision to stay on the site, leave it, or even purchase the products or services your company is offering. This is an important factor because it can dramatically increase or decrease your conversion rates just from something as simple as the text you decide to display.
The way you display your fonts to the viewer requires more than just a simple copy and paste. It is a proven fact that the human brain likes repetitive and similar layouts; the way that they understand information is understood better when texts, for example, are consistent. If the layout of your text is different on every page, the visitor on your site will most likely note the inconsistency and the discontent they felt rather than the types of products on display and their quality.
You want the content of what you are trying to say to match the mood, feeling or characteristic of the font you choose. If you are displaying information about a topic that is exciting (such as a special, sale, or promotion) you will not want to use a formal or serious font. Rather, the best-suited font would be one that illustrates the joy and specialness of the event. You want your font to correctly reflect the message that you are trying to portray and really sell your product or service.
